Sorry--not going to click on that highly suspicious-looking link. (I do know the goo.gl is a URL shortener, but it has sometimes been associated with malware.) If you genuinely want to know about some camcorder, figure it out yourself.

why would you waste time posting that? plus, isn't a forum somewhere where I am supposed to get help and pointers?

That's pretty questionable as I didn't see any information at all about the camcorder, other that it says it's a Sony Handycam. There would have to be a lot more info. I'd probably put in a bid for maybe $50 if you knew enough about it, but some idiot will probably bid $500 for it and get it. You would be better off on Ebay.

I also changed your title to go along with our rules.

From that view it looks like a late 90's Sony (can tell by the viewfinder). It could be Hi8, Digital8 or MiniDV. Can't tell from that shot.
